Ivy P.O.V.

I am looking forward to this trip with the girls, but I can feel Isabella being on alert and by default our guards are also on alert. I don't quite understand what is going on, but somehow I feel like we should have maybe stayed home today?

“Isabella is everything alright?” I ask her in the car, and she sighs. She looks at everyone before her eyes cloud over for a second. When they clear she takes a deep breath.

“Ivy, do you remember our talk in the living room the other day?” She asks and I nod. How could I forget? That was awkward and exciting at the same time. I unfortunately remembered some horrible things about my time in the fae Kingdom, but I also gave vital information to my mate and his parents. I felt proud and terrified at the same time.

“How could I forget?” I ask her, and she gives me a tight smile. In our car we have Jonah driving, and Finley in the passenger seat. Isabella and I are on the first backseat row, with Ashlee, Lauren and Milan behind us. The next

    Isaiah P.O.V.“Start talking nephew.” Uncle Dale says with gritted teeth. He is clearly angry at my decision to let the women go out shopping, when I knew the enemy was not dead. But he needs to understand the reason behind it. Dad is still on alert, if he needs to grab his brother because of his temper. Uncle Dale is a hothead, but he is not stupid. Ranked or not, I am still his Alpha and his King. “We need them to think we are still in the dark. They either have no idea Ivy is mated to me yet, and then think we still don’t know they are out there. Or they know she is my mate, but think she is too broken because of the fucker to King Edor to say anything. The third option, which is most likely, is that they know she is mated to me, but think she doesn’t know who they are, and don’t care if she tells us because they are too confident in themselves. Possibly they hope we have forgotten about them. Either way; we need to do whatever we used to do. Going shopping is something our women

    Ivy P.O.V.The rest of the day, Isaiah and I spent in our room. We talked and cuddled. We made love and talked some more. I unpacked everything I bought, except for the dresses. They were in four different dress bags, and I hung them in the closet without showing Isaiah what they looked like. I also forbid him from looking before the nights I am going to wear them. His eyes had widened when he saw how many pairs of shoes I brought home, and even more when I proudly said more was coming in the mail soon. I also got more underwear and casual clothes, which I detagged and threw in the hamper. Isaiah was curious about the makeup bag from Sephora, and I showed him the bath products, makeup things and everything in between. When all was done, I neatly folded the bags and placed them in a big unfolded one, and placed them outside our room. I got Isaiah to bring our hamper out there as well and mindlink two Omegas to come get it.They will bring it back washed, dried and folded. And yes, the

    Isabella P.O.V.I can’t believe what happened last night. It was truly amazing, and I am certain both Isaiah and Ivy will have a lot of questions, some of which I am not going to be able to answer. But I know someone who might, and she will be forced to be here, if she doesn’t come on her own free will. ‘I know you can hear me!’ I tell her mentally. A soft laugh grazes my ears. I roll my eyes. I didn’t know if I really liked her involvement with my family, but here we are. They need to know the truth. They deserve to know it.Elijah rolls over in the bed, encasing me with his arms. He kisses my cheeks. “Why have you already awakened my love?” He asks, and I sigh. “We need to tell them the truth today, baby.” I tell him, and he sighs as well. “I know, but I don’t like it.” “She’ll have to be here herself and explain the details.” I tell him, and he turns my head so I look at him. “Do you think she cares if you want that?” I scowl.“She’ll fucking have to care!” I growl. He laughs

    Isabella P.O.V.When I asked people to be here and talk, I never imagined it would be this complicated?! I was going to explain who I am family to the Moon Goddess, and I would take all the scorn from my children for not telling them sooner, but I never thought this would involve another deity, and definitely not that Ivy would be a God child herself. I know she is powerful! I have felt her full aura, although her wolf hides most of it behind a barrier, which in itself is very powerful, but then the part they let ooze is out of this world. I just thought Selene had made her a special selected person to match Isaiah, but maybe it is really the other way around? Everyone is silent after the newly arrived Goddess. I take a deep breath and smile at her. “Please sit down. May we know your name?” I ask her, side eyeing my son. He should be the one who asked this question or offered her a seat. Isaiah seems dumbfounded and confused as hell. Ivy looks equally livid and scared out of her min

    Isaiah P.O.V. I can’t even believe the audacity with these two! I don’t fucking care their are Goddesses, do they not understand how much they have hurt Ivy? She is heartbroken and scared shitless. When her ‘mother’ proclaimed she is stronger than me she fled the room, refusing to look at me when I caught up to her in the hallway. I was shaking from top to toe in anger, devastation and anxiety. She told me would accept a rejection, however painful, because she knows an Alpha would never want a mate who is stronger than her. I made her look at me and I made sure she understood how much I am NOT going to reject her. She may be stronger than me, but she is mine! Apollo is fucking livid, doing everything he can to calm down Raven and assure we are not going to abandon them. The tension in the room is so palpable you can almost cut it with a knife. I take a deep breath to start the conversation, but Ivy beats me to it. Her cool voice is clear and collected when she addresses her ‘mother’

    Unknown P.O.V. “Get back here!” “You cannot hide!” “We will get you at some point.” The men are searching the forest floor, but they are not going to find me down there. I snicker and look in my backpack. I got what I came for, and now I’ll have to hurry to the other side of the country. This is going to take time, because right now I cannot use my teleportation powers, as they’ll have a means to track me down. I roll my eyes, leaning back against the thick tree trunk, and close my eyes lightly. I keep my ears perked for the slightest sound of someone noticing I am up here, but so far they are far too busy looking for me down there. The sound of the men cursing, shouting to each other and ruffling the forest floor to see where they are going. I might or might not have set some small traps for my unwilling friends down there, and I can’t wait for one of them to stumble upon them. “Ooof!” One of the men grunts as leaves and branches give way for this weight, then the lovely sounds

  • The Alpha King's Forbidden Mate    An interesting day

    Ivy P.O.V. It’s been a few days since our encounter with my mother and her sister. Isabella has been making it a point to teach Isaiah and I about our heritage as child and great grandchild of a Goddess. We have powers no one else poses, which is also why we are the Royal bloodline. The fact that we could compel our ranked members to shift during our coronation and my Luna ceremony just goes to show how strong we both are, but as Isaiah says; “it was the call from his Queen that made Apollo follow suit to howl at the moon.” I think it over, as Raven prance around proudly in my mind. She has her chest puffed out, which I internally am laughing so hard over. She is a sight for sore mental eyes. We keep discovering new things and sides to being a Goddess child, or relative. It kind of makes me dizzy. All the texts keep saying I am supposed to be some sort of superior being, but I do not feel like that at all. I feel like my awkward, clueless and clumsy self. Although I’ll have to admit

    Isaiah P.O.V. I just stand there and blink several times before Selen’s words even make sense to me. Then I look back at the young man, whose eyes are roaming my mate. I immediately growl and pull Ivy closer into embrace. She giggles, his snorts and Selene rolls her eyes. The others are on their toes at my growl and take a step closer as well, as I can feel them come closer to me. “Isaiah, that will not be necessary, Jasper is aware that Ivy is mated and as my grandchild and nephew I hope you both can get along. You are actually all three in some sort of weird family. You are all connected to my sisters and me, so please behave. I don’t want to come here and separate y’all or have to explain to Solaris why her son is dead.” Jasper snorts again, turning his head to Selene. “I won’t be the one who is dead, aunt, if it comes down to that.” Then he falls to his knees, his eyes widening and his breath coming out strained. He looks up, as I let go of Ivy. Her hair is flowing around her,

    Hi all my lovely readers. This is where the new book following Astra, Jasper, Jonas, Flora and Jenna will be updated. It has been decided that the book is so tightly knit to the second book, that I have to update it this way, which also means I will not start updating until the new year, so I have a bundle of chapers to start out with, and it will be a project on the side as I am also looking at signing something new and exciting. But don't worry, I will not let that affect my quality or updating rate, as I hope the extra time until I start it regularly, will give me the opportunity to uodate 3 times a week as I use to. That was the sereious part. Now for someting more related to the new book. After the war is won, and Isaiah and Ivy say goodbye to Jasper, Astra, Jonas, Flora and Jenna, everything seems to be fine. They know Jenna has been acting kinda weird and clingy towards her children and Flora, but everyone has been brushing it off to grief over her mate's death. Jasper howev

    Isaiah P.O.V.Ophelia turned out to be a great asset to our motley crowd. And the kids immediately took to her, finding her training fun and relaxing at the same time. Eli, Gabe and the twins understood the importance of practicing meditation and other forms of mental defense. Emmet and Ilina just thought it fun and different, although they had a harder time sitting still both of them were determined to be as good as their siblings. Most of the time Ilina fell asleep during meditations, which Ophelia said was fine. We fell into a good routine after Ophelia also joined us, and soon it was time to prepare the kids to leave the Realm of Magic. We were all sad to go, but I think Ivy was the saddest of us all. She really felt at home here between her parents and all the wonderful creatures we got to meet. On our last day we decided to bring the kids back to the stream, giving Ophelia and Archeron time to pack and be ready for the next day. We have been here for so long, the kids kinda fo

    Ivy P.O.V. We have been here for a little over a month now, although I know that is not even half of that in the Mortal Realm, I cannot help but feel a bit bad for just leaving everything to Aiden, Alisa and Isaiah’s parents. They have been doing a great job so far, and only had to call for me twice until now to help solve disputes in the pack, and once for something regarding another pack and a treaty violation. I love to help, and it was nice to see everyone again. Isabella also had some time to yell at me for getting pregnant again, cry because this is definitely the last one and almost faint when I said it’s twins. One of each. We had the doctor another scan just before they called me for the treaty thing, and we got the news. Isaiah is over the moon, and the younger kids are beginning to understand that momma has to be a bit more careful because of the babies in her belly. Ilina has been so loving ever since I came a little further along. Mom says it’s because she can sense them

    Isaiah P.O.V.“Well, congratulations your Graces, you are indeed expecting twins again. I understand you wish to have them in your own home, which I understand. You should still be able to enjoy your stay here, but take it easy and with the slightest discomfort, please come see me again.” The female doctor, a former witch, says with a small smile. “I will monitor you from here, but perhaps it’ll be best if someone also notifies your doctor back in the Mortal Realm?” I nod, looking at Ivy, who seems far away. I take her hand, bringing it to my mouth. She turns her head in my direction, but she does not seem to actually see me. “Doc, may we please have a moment?” I ask, also asking Eli to go back to his grandparents. He looks at his mother with deep concern, and I know the empathic side of him is tapping into her, feeling everything she is. “I got her Eli. Please see your grandparents for now, son.” I tell him, leaning down and kissing his hair. He nods silently, following the doctor o

    10 years laterIvy P.O.V.“KIDS I AM GIVING YOU 5 SECONDS TO GET OUT HERE, OR WE ARE GOING WITHOUT YOU! 5, 4, 3.. Thank you!” I’m standing outside the packhouse with Isiah, Eli who is 10, and knows by now not to piss off his mother when we’re going somewhere and our youngest, Ilina who is 2 and sleeping in her stroller. Isaiah shakes his head at me, and kisses my temple. I sigh. I know I’m more impatient today than usual, and that says something, because I’m always impatient when we’re going somewhere, but today is very special and we’re going to be gone for quite some time as a family. Out of house rushes our other children; Gabe who is 8, and the actual spitting image of the uncle he is named after, the twins Isobel and Elain who is 6 and finally our 4 years old Emmet. I put my hands on my hips and look them all over, while Eli and Isaiah snickers behind me. They’re just happy they are not the ones who are in trouble this time. “I am blaming us for being late solely on all of you

    Isaiah P.O.V.We table this discussion for later, and follow dad out the door and out back where a ton of chairs is placed facing a small decorated platform for me and Ivy. I cannot wait to see her in her dress. I know she is a little self conscious right now, but she is just gorgeous and I love her so much! She is going to be a vision, I am sure of it. We take our place as everyone is finding their seats in the crowd. Aunt Jenna smiles at Jonas and taps a seat beside her. She has placed herself in the front, and with enough chairs free so Jonas, Astra and Alisa can sit with her I think. I just raise an eyebrow and make a last minute decision. “Actually, aunt Jonas is in my bridal party, so he is standing today.” I tell her politely, winking at Jonas. I mindlink Ivy, telling her about my abrupt change and explaining why. She laughs over the mindlink and tells me she’ll inform the others. Flora was made head of the flower girls, and had to stay with them, saving her from my aunt as

    Isaiah P.O.V.“A toast to the happy couple! Congratulations, Isaiah! You really are a lucky man.” Aiden says, smiling at me. We are sitting at the breakfast table, just us guys. I raise my champagne glass to him, toasting in silence. The rest say ‘hear hear’ and drink with us. We are having a great morning so far, but I am starting to feel the small nervous jitters of excitement. This day has been long coming, but is finally here. Today I am going to make Ivy my wife! She is already the mother to our son, and seeing her take that role with such passion has been one of the greatest moments in my life! I know she thinks I am a nervous wreck when it comes to Eli, but I just can’t help it. With everything we have been through since I found her in the Fae Kingdom, I am going to keep myself on my toes regarding our son. No one is ever going to hurt him. I know that for sure because they will have to face the wrath of my soon-to-be wife, and I’ll handle the leftovers, but still. He is our so

    Ivy P.O.V. Two weeks later We’ve had our little Eli with us for two weeks now and he is just a little angel! I must admit as much as motherhood scared me, and we had some minor setbacks, such as I am not able to breastfeed him, I really love being a mother. The thing with breastfeeding was a hard blow as I had heard so much good about it, but I was just not producing milk. Isaiah has been a trooper navigating my hot mess of emotions - going from high to low faster than Elsa chose to let it go in Frozen. We finally had some quiet time to sit down and watch some movies and be a family - meaning a Disney marathon. It was an amazing evening. Everyone in the pack has welcomed Eli with open hearts, and I could not be more proud. I have also decided to divide my reading time for the little ones with Isabella, as she really enjoyed herself when I was in labor. She has Tuesday and I have Thursday. The kids have been nothing but sweet and gentle with my son, cooing over him and doting whenev

    Isiaah P.O.V.4 months later “ISAIAH!” Ivy screams from our room. Our wedding day fastly approaching, but we decided to wait to get married until she had our baby. She’s been a real trooper through the pregnancy, and has been bedridden for the last month because the little rascal may or may not come early if she didn’t. Not that she wasn’t doing everything right before to keep him in there for as long as possible, but sometimes that is just not enough and you have to do more proactive stuff to ensure a full term baby. She’s been having a tough time accepting that, and twice a week I have been carrying her to the downstairs living room, where she has been reading to the littlest pups in the pack. They have been so fascinated with her growing stomach and the fact the next little Alpha is in there. I adore her, swelling stomach and all. She is as beautiful today as she was the day I met her - minus all the bruises. “ISAIAH I MEAN I… OW!” I jump to my feet, hurrying into our bedroom. I w
